Vic Firth Presents: 40 Essential Rudiments - 3 views

  •  
    Excellent tool for percussionists to HEAR what the 40 essential rudiments are supposed to sound like and gives a very good methodology for practicing them slowly and gradually improving. The one downside (and it is significant in my philosophy) is that many of the illustrations use traditional grip, whereas I teach only match grip.
  •  
    This page is a one stop shop for all snare drum rudiments. Each rudiment has a video showing the proper technique. In addition, there is a written out version of each rudiment as well as different tempi with which it can be practiced. This is a great resource to share with all percussion students, especially those preparing for auditions.
  •  
    Great website for teachers who are not percussionist. Rudiments are hard for anyone to memorize if you are not using them everyday. This site is also great for students who are still learning rudiments. One can easily click on a rudiment and can hear what it is supposed to sound like at different tempos, and what it looks like in standard notation.

Tips on Teaching Intonation (from 50+ Band Directors) - Band Directors Talk Shop - 1 views

  •  
    This page lends itself as a particularly valuable resource, especially for those whose weakness is intonation. In it, you will find philosophies, phrases, analogies, activities, and what the author terms "common threads" for approaching the aforementioned topic with your students. Among the most popular suggestions are singing, practicing characteristic tone quality, and listening down, or back, to the tuba section--all of which can and should be practiced in the early stages of a student's musical development.

    J.W. Pepper is the easiest site I've used when choosing and purchasing sheet music. It is very helpful that most of the pieces allow you to hear a performance of the music you want to buy and you are able to see the scores for the pieces, this has helped me determine if my groups can play the piece before I buy it. I can see if the range is too high for trumpets, if there are a lot of string crossings for violins, etc.

Prices of music keep rising, but they have great customer service and shipping is usually quick. Many selections on the website are accompanied by a recording of the piece, but not always in the voicing selected.
